Two GTX 260s Core 216s. It only says I got one. Tell you the truth this is my first HUGE computer build and I would love to know how to set up SLi. Check my specs below for my parts. Thank you!
 
So you have two of them already? All you should need to do is use the SLI bridge, connect the power cables to both, make sure SLI is enabled in the BIOS (if applicable), and make sure that SLI is enabled in the nVidia control panel.
 
Yes, I do have both of them. Hmm, how do I exactly enable sli in the nvidia control panel? and how exactly do I enable sli in the BIOS. I'm very new at sli so lol yea.

I just went to the nvidia control panel and I don't have an Set SLI Configuration on the navi tree.

Click to expand...
I've never touched SLI so I can't really help you specifically, I just remember people needing to enable SLI from the nVidia control panel. Assuming you have the software installed (not you don't, then get it!), you should be able to right click on the desktop and select it.
 
When I look the System Information in the nvidia control panel I see my two 260's but one has less details (if that makes sence) The one I'm running on says:
Force Ware Version 177.26
Total Available Graphics 896
Dedicated Video memory 896
System video memory 0
Shared system memory 0
Video BIOS version 62.00.1a.00.1a
IRQ 30
Bus PCI Express X16

And the other one only has:
Force Ware Version 177.26
Memory 896
Video BIOS version 62.00.1a.00.1a
IRQ 0
Bus PCI Express X16

Whats going on?
 
I downloaded that already but when I restarted my comp, it wouldn't go to log on screen it would just restart. But after loading the last configuration, It started up.

Ok, I installed it in Safe Mode. And it didn't give me a headache. But it doesn't look like they updated. And I'm still not seeing an enable SLI anywhere?

No, I did not. I'm doing that now thank you!
 
Ok, so I just updated my chipset. Now what do I need to do? Any ideas on my sli?

Nah, my GPU's didn't update there still 177.26

Should not have to. Just uninstall the old driver, reboot and install the newer one. You have your monitor hooked up to the top card?
 
Dude, that worked. I did it in safe mode just to be safe. lol As soon as I started up after installing the drivers, a little balloon came up asking me if I wanted SLi enabled. Thank you very much!
